Quick change

I made a quick change: "Christopher Arp of Psyopus auditioned in this guitarist search, as he later said in an interview with Terrorizer magazine, and Eddie Van Halen auditioned for fun due to him being friends with the band." I did this because it is unnecessary information that has nothing to do with Limp Bizkit directly (or anything else in the article). It was not cited, and all effort to find a source were unsuccessful. DubD28 (talk)DubD28

Band member IP edits

For the last week or so, various IPs have repeatedly been removing or tweaking info related to band membership. For example, removing DJ Lethal. Is there any grounds for the removal, or actual confusion on this point, or is this just vandalism or misguided edits? So far none of the IPs have discussed or even given an edit summary, so I wasn't sure.

Anyways, I've protected the page for a bit. Please hash this out in the meantime. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 13:00, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Nu Metal genre

The music business, media and general public consensus is that LB is regarded and most associated with ‘nu metal’. No need for reference as any quick Google search proves it Cambodia3DBY (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

@Cambodia3DBY: Well, that's not how things are done around here, do you have any reliable sources that support your claim? Also, please review WP:ONUS. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Multiple sources claim Limp Bizkit to be a, first and foremost, a nu metal band; including:
Limp Bizkit’s profile at Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/se/artist/limp-bizkit/105544?l=en-GB — “Nu Metal pioneers”.
Spotify’s official Nu Metal play list, featuring Fred Durst on the cover. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcfZ6moR6J0G
On each and every Loudwire article, for example, https://loudwire.com/best-limp-bizkit-album-vote/ — “one of the most beloved Nu Metal bands”, and https://loudwire.com/limp-bizkit-cover-metallica-master-puppets-videos/ — “Nu Metal version”.
On each and every Metal Hammer / Louder Than Sound article, for example: https://www.loudersound.com/news/limp-bizkit-fred-durst-new-look-european-tour — “nu metal daddies”, and https://www.loudersound.com/news/limp-bizkit-gunenrsbury-park-london-announced — “nu metal legends”.
Fred Durst referring to himself as the “king of nu metal” on track 4 “Turn It Up, B*tch” from their latest album ‘Still Sucks’ (2021). Additionally -and on the same song- referring to the band as “nu metal one hit wonders”.
Misplaced Pages’s Nu metal page: “Nu metal became popular in the late 1990s with bands and artists such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot all releasing albums that sold millions of copies.”
The Guardian: https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/13/limp-bizkit-review-piece-hall-halifax-nu-metal — “nu metal elders”.
multiple Revolver articles including: https://www.revolvermag.com/music/10-wildest-nu-metal-performances — “Wild nu metal performances”.
Multiple Kerrang! Articles including: https://www.kerrang.com/amp/limp-bizkit-how-significant-other-saw-the-nu-metal-anti-heroes-take-over-the-world — “the nu Metal anti-heroes”
These are just a few examples (quick google search, first hits) to prove that Limp Bizkit is widely recognized as a nu metal band. Acknowledged by the band members themselves, the media, the critics and the fans.
Hope with this information you reconsider your position and change the main genre on their Misplaced Pages page.
Thank you ,
Warm regards, Cambodia3DBY (talk) 20:29, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
